Cup Run Continues

Eynsham, going well in the division below us, fancied an upset. And, when they saw us turn up with 11 players and saw Ben bloodied and Adam crocked in the warm up, they were rubbing their hands with glee. But, this is Braveheart Cumnor, bold Cumnor, slick passing high tempo Cumnor, set up to break quickly and score.

A game of two halves? Only if you look at the 4-1 score. True we did the damage in the first half through a Will drive and top corner free kick, a nice Ben strike and a neat piece of following up by Toby, but we were unlucky not to add to the score in the second half. Rory, rampaging through the midfield, almost scored a screamer, we hit the post and James E had one stopped on the line. True, we conceded but Ben could barely run and Toby was carrying a knock. We re-jiggled, re-structured and still kept control despite the best efforts of a committed Eynsham.

We're looking good and focussed, we have a plan. Here's to taking the spoils at Deddington next Sunday.

Player of the Week: Rob lavished praise on all 11 but the decision was unanimous, and the award went to Ed for playing exceptionally well on the left wing.
